Another quick pic! This one is scented with OTs Cranberry Woods and a splash of orange 10x eo, and was inspired by this soap.

@SoapSisters thanks! Maybe tomorrow night…
 
I soaped for the 3rd day in a row -- just a mini-column embed. Lotsa dishes piling up.... I always freak out about this BB buttercup yellow mica because it is ORANGE in the batter before morphing into yellow.

The first 2 columns were scented with black pepper, tea tree and cinnamon leaf essential oils which I decided was stinky. The 3rd column and the main soap will be just black pepper and tea tree in an attempt to make it smell better.

And @Soaplizard -- Dude! What the h?! What a work of art! You've set a pretty high bar there.

I recently helped out one of our peeps here on testing her various soaps. I keep these small bars in my basement soap shop and look forward to washing up at the end of a session.

I have a green one, Andy The Money that looks like baby on antibiotic poop in the batter, but it comes out a really pretty green after the cpop. Hard to pour and swirl poopy brown and imagine how its going to look.
 
I unmolded my mini-column mold and breathed a sigh of relief that it morphed into yellow as it was supposed to! Tomorrow is the big day that I make a loaf soap with 3 mini-column molds and it all comes together and the heavens open and the angels sing.... I may be setting myself up for the design I want and the design I get!

I have several thin slabs of leftover batter that I cut and I've got the wheels turning on how to use them in confetti/embed soap.
 
I cut my chocolate soap today and it looks pretty, but I forgot to take pics before I put them away. Smells yummy.

Then I got myself wrapped up in a soap dough snowman project inspired by Soy and Shea's you tube video. I have been collecting soap dough from leftover soap just for this. I got my little snow guys and gals put together. I think they are going to stick LOL. I never molded soap dough before. The heads kept falling off. I guess I wet them too much.

I am one hour past my bedtime already, so I am going to have to put clothes on them tomorrow. Some of them look pretty sad, which is why I made extras. But as soon as I get hats and scarves on them, I think they will look a little more happy LOL

So, yeah, now I have that visual in my head! So glad you came back with the charming and cute little guys! I don't know how you all have the patience to make little creatures, snowmen, witches, Big Foots, etc.! Really impressive.
 
this is pre and post cpop Andy the Money @Zing LOL. Just to make the visual real

JUST STOP IT, WOULDJA??!! I'm having PTSD when our oldest got rotavirus. Our pediatrician looked me in the eyes and said, "It's going to be bad, steel yourself, really bad for many days, like you will never change so many diapers. Good luck with that!"
 
I gave my CP a whole extra night to solidify and this morning I unmolded and sliced, coffee in hand. I liked one of my new molds more than expected. The detailed molds came out pretty well, but I think I'll try putting those in the freezer before unmolding next time. The loaf had a lovely swirl- especially considering that it accelerated a bit
